The 1927 state highway act provided for ”Route No. 22. From Route No. 4 in Rahway, through Springfield, to Pine Brook.” Presumably, it would have come in roughly at the intersection of NJ 6 (now US 46) and NJ 9 (now SR 506). But the only section of roadway associated with NJ 22 that was actually built was an underpass of the Jersey Central tracks on the Cranford-Garwood line, and an adjacent bridge (also on the town line) over a branch of the Rahway River. The bridge was never connected on the north (or west) side, but the abutment reading “STATE HIGHWAY ROUTE 22” is visible from NJ 28. (NJ 4 was never built in Rahway, either; eventually it was replaced by the Garden State Parkway.)
US 22 is no relation to this highway; before it received a US highway designation, it was partly NJ 28 and partly NJ 29.
For years, NJ 59 was unsigned, but today a signal overhead on North Avenue indicates that Lincoln Avenue is indeed NJ 59.
